The FAST examination is highly specific for hemoperitoneum in trauma patients, and has been adopted in nontrauma patients to identify intraperitoneal fluid as a cause of abdominal pain or distension. However, causes of false positive FAST examinations have been described and require prompt recognition to avoid diagnostic uncertainty and inappropriate procedures. Most causes of false positive FAST examinations are due to anatomic mimics such as perinephric fat or seminal vesicles, however, modern ultrasound machines use a variety of postprocessing image enhancement techniques that can also lead to novel false positive artifacts.Case report: We report cases where experienced clinicians incorrectly interpreted ultrasound findings caused by a novel mimic of hemoperitoneum: the \"lipliner sign.\" It appears most prominently at the edges of solid organs (such as the liver and the spleen), which is the same location most likely to show free fluid in FAST examination in trauma patients. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: Clinicians who take care of trauma patients must be familiar with causes of false positive FAST examinations that could lead to a misdiagnosis of hemoperitoneum.","PeriodicalId":16085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142375560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While some individuals report experiencing symptoms of brain hypoxia followed by a loss of consciousness, other individuals report symptoms of brain hypoxia prior to amnesia, rendering some unable to recall loss of consciousness (LOC).Objective: Using a standardized clinical assessment tool, the purpose of this retrospective analysis is to describe anoxic brain injury symptom prevalence in a sample of patients reporting NF-IPS.Methods: One hundred and ninety-one unique patients, reporting a total of 267 strangulation events, were assessed by a member of the Shasta Community Forensic Care Team utilizing the Strangulation Hypoxia Anoxia Symptom TBI Assessment (SHASTA) tool. The sample is 98% female and includes adult patients ages 18-68. Examination records were categorized based on the presence or absence of hypoxia and anoxia symptoms. This manuscript utilizes the STROBE checklist.Results: Amnesia was reported in 145 of the 267 strangulations (54.3%). Of those, 74 reported LOC (51.0%) while 71 did not recall LOC (49.0%).Conclusions: Within our sample, 49% of patients with amnesia did not recall losing consciousness, demonstrating that LOC is an imperfect measure of anoxia for patients following NF-IPS. Healthcare providers examining NF-IPS patients should inquire about additional symptoms of hypoxia and amnesia, which can be captured on the SHASTA tool.","PeriodicalId":16085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142289280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) has been advocated during preoxygenation but may increase the risk of aspiration.Objective: To explore the risk-benefit analysis of using PPV during air medical RSI.Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of the Air Methods Airway Registry using patient data from over 175 bases across the U.S. over a 5-year period. Patients were separated into normoxemic (SpO2 ≥93%) and hypoxemic (SpO2 <93%) and compared in regard to demographics, clinical data, and use of PPV. Primary outcomes were first-attempt intubation success (FAS) and FAS without desaturation (FASWD). Chi-square, t-test, and logistical regression were used to analyze the data.Results: There were 9778 patients who underwent intubations during the study period. FAS was 92% (8966 patients). FASWD was 90% (8775 patients). Mean SpO2 was 94.9%. There were 42% (4118 patients) of patients who received PPV prior to intubation and 1% (94) aspirated during RSI. Multivariate logistical regression showed an association between use of PPV and reduced intubation success for normoxemic patients but improved intubation success for hypoxemic patients. The use of PPV was associated with higher risk of aspiration events (p = 0.007).Conclusion: The use of PPV during preoxygenation prior to RSI appears beneficial for hypoxemic but not normoxemic patients due to lower intubation success and increased aspiration risk with PPV. This data supports selective use of PPV prior to the initial intubation attempt in patients undergoing RSI.","PeriodicalId":16085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142365516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An association between institutional OHCA case volume and patient outcomes has been documented. However, whether this applies to prehospital emergency medicine services (EMS) is unknown.Objectives: To investigate the association between the volume of interventions by mobile intensive care units (MICU) and outcomes of patients experiencing an OHCA.Methods: A retrospective cohort study including adult patients with OHCA managed by medical EMS in five French centers between 2013 and 2020. Two groups were defined depending on the overall annual numbers of MICU interventions: low and high-volume MICU. Primary endpoint was 30-day survival. Secondary endpoints were prehospital return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), ROSC at hospital admission and favorable neurological outcome. Patients were matched 1:1 using a propensity score. Conditional logistic regression was then used.Results: 2,014 adult patients (69% male, median age 68 [57-79] years) were analyzed, 50.5% (n = 1,017) were managed by low-volume MICU and 49.5% (n = 997) by high-volume MICU. Survival on day 30 was 3.6% in the low-volume group compared to 5.1% in the high-volume group. There was no significant association between MICU volume of intervention and survival on day 30 (OR = 0.92, 95%CI [0.55;1.53]), prehospital ROSC (OR = 1.01[0.78;1.3]), ROSC at hospital admission (OR = 0.92 [0.69;1.21]), or favorable neurologic prognosis on day 30 (OR = 0.92 [0.53;1.62]).","PeriodicalId":16085,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Emergency Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142381066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
